Re: [Puppet Users] Re: vmware provisioning
You might want to take a look at veewee03. It now can create baseboxes on Vmware Fusion. Which allows you to export them to OVA format that you can import in Vsphere/Esx https://github.com/jedi4ever/veewee On 16/02/12 00:34, Eric Shamow wrote: Indeed, at $(job - 1) we implemented something to do this pretty quickly, although not with the flexibility of cloud provisioner.

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: vmware provisioning
I wrote some code to create the virtual hardware on esx/esx(i) hypervisors using jython and the vsphere api. You can find my poorly written codes here on github. https://github.com/jsabo/vmware_misc/blob/master/vmware_cli.py I was building the esx(i) boxes with Cobbler and then as part of a firstboot commit hook creating the virtual hardware on the newly installed esx(i) hypervisors and then turning them on which then booted off Cobbler and installed. The other cobbler bits are in that same repo on github.
